Job summary

CLCH Hertfordshire Adult Community Services - CLCH NHS Trust provides a range of Community Services, and the Hertfordshire Division is recruiting!

If you're looking for a rewarding career in the community that allows you to deliver high quality, patient-focused care while leading a dynamic and mutually supportive team, you're in the right place!

CLCH Hertfordshire Division covers the 4 localities of West Hertfordshire, delivering care across the population. We are an innovative divisional team who are always looking to grow and develop our staff and service, and pride ourselves on focusing on staff wellbeing as well as delivering high quality patient focused care.

We are setting up a new team to deliver care for residential homes across three of our four geographical localities - Hertsmere, St Albans and Harpenden and Watford - to improve continuity and enable the residential homes and staff within CLCH to feel well supported and able to deliver excellent care.

Main duties of the job

This idea has come from clinicians delivering face to face contact with patients in the Covid pandemic. They have demonstrated the enhanced level of support we can offer homes through training and collaborative working, and they have built close relationships with the homes as a result.

This has achieved reduction of pressure ulceration, effective treatment of leg ulceration, improvements in continence care, palliative care and management of long term conditions.

The outbreak team healed one patient who had had daily dressings on their legs for over a year in under four weeks, and the quality of life the patient now has is vastly improved from before.

We want to continue to achieve these amazing results on a larger scale - could you be the person who is leading the way to enable this?
